Looking forward to 2008

I have really enjoyed the metal going ons of 2007 and 2008 is already shaping up to be great as well. Im looking forward to new albums from Trivium, Testament, Heaven & Hell, Opeth, Jacob's Dream, Avantasia, Ayreon, Edenbridge, Judas Priest, Theocracy, Divinefire, Pyramaze (the return of Barlow ), and possibly more. Then there are tours with Iron Maiden returning Somewhere in Time, Leaves' Eyes with King Diamond, Dream Theater with Opeth, and after four years I'm going to be ready to see the TSO Christmas tour again (can't make it this year). DVDs from Iron Maiden and Leaves' Eyes. Also if I'm lucky (highly unlikely) 2008 might even see the next non-Christmas TSO album and the final installment of Saviour Machine's Legend series. Anybody else anxious for next year? What are you looking forward to?

looking forward to barlows return mostly. that guy is a god
a new heaven and hell album will be awesome as well

Yes, I must applaud 2007 for being one of the best years for metal I've witnessed.

I hope 2008 is half as good. I think it might be.

Looking forward to:

Jacob's Dream
Leaves' Eyes
Theocracy


to name just a few ...

iron maiden concerts, metallica concerts, download, nightwish concert, linkin park concert should all be good. would love to try and catch opeth as well as they say they will be touring next year with a new album

albums i am awaiting

metallica
gnr
priest
opeth
iced earth
testament
anthrax
heaven and hell

plus the biggy of them all! the rumoured original black sabbath lineup 40th anniversary addition

Looking forward to new Testament more than anything

Once Dead - Visions of Hell will hopefully see the light of day in '08.

Ultimatum will release our first ever DVD in '08 as well.

I think(or hope) that the new METALLICA is going to be good. Also i am waiting for the new JUDAS PRIEST cd of course.

Forgot about ONCE DEAD.Also,looking forward to new BELIEVER.

I am looking forward to the opportunity to listen to all the stuff I bought this year. I am taking 2008 off from collecting so my bank account can recover.

Good Idea.Let me know how that works for ya.
Cant...stop...buying....must...have....new....cds

I figure if start saying it now, I can make it actually happen by January.

2008 will be my first full year of being back into METAL. So I have
allot to look forward too. Definately going to try Once Deads new work!
Haven't heard them yet but going to try some real soon! I want to start
a Mortification collection (from scratch of course) this year as well.
Also going to be trying lots of death from:

Impending Doom
Scourged Flesh
LETHEIAN
Encryptor
Retribution
Roter Sturm
Obliteration
Our Diminishing Glory
Deus Invictus
Tortured Conscience
With Blood Comes Cleansing

And my final and VERY important goal (LOL) is to FINALLY get some metal
clothing! NEVER HAVE, and really want too! Like to get a Living
Sacrifice shirt, Ultimatum of some sort, August Burns Red has some
extremely sick deco style art and some Becoming The Archetype would be
cool too!

Ahhh - I forgot about this one. I'm anticipating it as well.

Also, I hope Guns and Roses actually release "Chinese Democracy" in 08. Sheeesh.

I'm curious about the new Metallica, but I'm not holding my breath either.

Testament & Priest of course... and hopefully Morbid Angel will finally put something out this coming year.

That would rule of Morbid Angel put something out. Those guys are one of my fave DM bands.

I'm looking forward to new cds by Alice Cooper, Judas Priest, Death Angel, King's X and Opeth. And probably tons more that's slipping my mind.

I'm looking forward to the upoming Iron Maiden tour as well as the King Diamond/Kreator tour.

TEMPLE OF BLOOD's new album should be relesed in 08.

Also looking forward to the new TESTAMENT and JUDAS PRIEST, as many others have said.

HEAVEN AND HELL should be cool as long as they make at least half of it up-tempo. We only need so many slow plodding numbers.

2007 began very slow, but have picked up nicely towards the end. There are still plenty of releases I've yet to pick up. And there is never a problem to find new, or older stuff, to buy. So 2008 will be a metal year regardless!

I have purchased 830+ CDs this year. I hope 2008 sucks for music, so I can save some money. Haha.

GREAT CEASARS GHOST!!!!

Not sure 2008 can top 2007, this has been one of the best metal years in a long time!
